2.6.21-rc2-git3 soft lockup detected on CPU#0 (crash dump kernel)

2.6.21-rc2-git3 soft lockup detected on CPU#0 (crash dump kernel)

[Michal Piotrowski]

Hi,

I hit this bug again
(http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0702.2/1643.html)

BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
 [<c1604556>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x2f

This time it's a crash dump kernel without SMP.

Is the box stuck, or do you just get those softlockup messages from time
to time ?

The box stuck on it.

I can reproduce this on 2.6.21-rc2-git3 and 2.6.20.1.

Ahh. That's something different, i.e. unrelated to highres/dynticks. 
2.6.20.1 does not have them.

Can you please add "initcall_debug" and "ignore_loglevel" to the kernel
command line ?

sk98lin: driver has been replaced by the skge driver and is scheduled for removal

Can you try without that one or with the skge driver instead ?

Would have been too easy :) 

sysrq-T and sysrq-Q might give use some useful info.

Kernel command line: .... irqpoll ....
Misrouted IRQ fixup and polling support enabled

It might be related to irqpoll. Not sure how to track that one down.

weird. Could you do a dump with SysRq-T, SysRq-Q done /twice/ after each 
other, to see how the system progresses while in this lockup? Plus 
please also try to get a register dump via SysRq-P. 

Btw., the task state printout seems busted:

udev_run_devd ? C15B0030  2544   979    853                     (L-TLB)

shouldnt that be 'R' instead of the question mark?

? are dead ones,  

 [<c16191d9>] do_exit+0x6f9/0x6fd
 [<c161924d>] sys_exit_group+0x0/0x11
 [<c161925c>] sys_exit_group+0xf/0x11
 [<c1603e72>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0x99

The interesting part is here:

1 lock held by udevd/918:
 #0:  (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c161135b>] do_page_fault+0x150/0x50d

But udevd/918 is nowhere in the sysrq-t output.

also below is a softlockup-debug patch that might be useful, which adds 
a tick/tock output so it spams the console once per second but can show 
the dynamics of lockups (and other delays).

thanks. It seems that the 'BUG: soft lockup detected' message does not 
occur in this log though - and that there are bootup messages between 
the two sysrq outputs:

[  221.101833] skge eth1: disabling interface
[  228.740911] audit(1173094442.943:11): user pid=3245 uid=0 
auid=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:hwclock_t:s0 msg='changing system 
time: exe="/sbin/hwclock"
(hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=console res=success)'
[  233.148571] md: md1 in immediate safe mode

plus there's trouble with irq 10:

[  132.013194] irq 10: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
[  132.072771] Disabling IRQ #10

that prompted you to enable irqpoll, right? So am i right that without 
irqpoll there's no lockup?
